FreeBSD Security Advisory - The kernel can create a core dump file when a process crashes that contains process state, for debugging. Due to incorrect initialization of a stack data structure, up to 20 bytes of kernel data stored previously stored on the stack will be exposed to a crashing user process. Sensitive kernel data may be disclosed.
7e92a03752692ff70b6e7dd6409f7f47FreeBSD Security Advisory - A missing check means that an attacker can reinject an old packet and it will be accepted and processed by the IPsec endpoint. The impact depends on the higher-level protocols in use over IPsec. For example, an attacker who can capture and inject packets could cause an action that was intentionally performed once to be repeated.
37a3aeec30d9aab8277dcc9d5817d7c4FreeBSD Security Advisory - A programming error allows an attacker who can specify a URL with a username and/or password components to overflow libfetch(3) buffers. An attacker in control of the URL to be fetched (possibly via HTTP redirect) may cause a heap buffer overflow, resulting in program misbehavior or malicious code execution.
db7e06ba955fcce711123c791d179c85Local root exploit for the FreeBSD fd vulnerability as disclosed in FreeBSD-SA-19:02.fd.
6426b023a6749568c0e3de1d4ba2531aLocal root exploit for the FreeBSD mqueuefs vulnerability as disclosed in FreeBSD-SA-19:15.mqueuefs.
fa32a042469b8505c6692ec2c13703e4FreeBSD Security Advisory - Intel discovered a previously published erratum on some Intel platforms can be exploited by malicious software to potentially cause a denial of service by triggering a machine check that will crash or hang the system. Malicious guest operating systems may be able to crash the host.
16e31a62d192ef837fe70cb34d0748beFreeBSD Security Advisory - From time to time Intel releases new CPU microcode to address functional issues and security vulnerabilities. Such a release is also known as a Micro Code Update (MCU), and is a component of a broader Intel Platform Update (IPU). FreeBSD distributes CPU microcode via the devcpu-data port and package.
3f292061289055eb717818fe052c4a7bFreeBSD Security Advisory - The kernel driver for /dev/midistat implements a handler for read(2). This handler is not thread-safe, and a multi-threaded program can exploit races in the handler to cause it to copy out kernel memory outside the boundaries of midistat's data buffer. The races allow a program to read kernel memory within a 4GB window centered at midistat's data buffer. The buffer is allocated each time the device is opened, so an attacker is not limited to a static 4GB region of memory. On 32-bit platforms, an attempt to trigger the race may cause a page fault in kernel mode, leading to a panic.
29b9c0f087b6c2dcd49d9c551ed487c4FreeBSD Security Advisory - System calls operating on file descriptors obtain a reference to relevant struct file which due to a programming error was not always put back, which in turn could be used to overflow the counter of affected struct file. A local user can use this flaw to obtain access to files, directories, sockets, etc., opened by processes owned by other users. If obtained struct file represents a directory from outside of user's jail, it can be used to access files outside of the jail. If the user in question is a jailed root they can obtain root privileges on the host system.
9cfd72e9cfbe028258e3db3b70d85035FreeBSD Security Advisory - The kernel driver for /dev/midistat implements a handler for read(2). This handler is not thread-safe, and a multi-threaded program can exploit races in the handler to cause it to copy out kernel memory outside the boundaries of midistat's data buffer. The races allow a program to read kernel memory within a 4GB window centered at midistat's data buffer.

On 32-bit platforms, an attempt to trigger the race may cause a page fault in kernel mode, leading to a panic.
c9e90cd4eb3cd766c44e2948ca9b1513FreeBSD Security Advisory - Due do a missing check in the code of m_pulldown(9) data returned may not be contiguous as requested by the caller. Extra checks in the IPv6 code catch the error condition and trigger a kernel panic leading to a remote DoS (denial-of-service) attack with certain Ethernet interfaces. At this point it is unknown if any other than the IPv6 code paths can trigger a similar condition.
9c1a75e0d06084604a7f5ea3a769e9e8FreeBSD Security Advisory - The e1000 network adapters permit a variety of modifications to an Ethernet packet when it is being transmitted. These include the insertion of IP and TCP checksums, insertion of an Ethernet VLAN header, and TCP segmentation offload ("TSO"). The e1000 device model uses an on-stack buffer to generate the modified packet header when simulating these modifications on transmitted packets. When TCP segmentation offload is requested for a transmitted packet, the e1000 device model used a guest-provided value to determine the size of the on-stack buffer without validation. The subsequent header generation could overflow an incorrectly sized buffer or indirect a pointer composed of stack garbage. A misbehaving bhyve guest could overwrite memory in the bhyve process on the host.
26840b488f085103047559c3820eb233FreeBSD Security Advisory - A function extracting the length from type-length-value encoding is not properly validating the submitted length. A remote user could cause, for example, an out-of-bounds read, decoding of unrelated data, or trigger a crash of the software such as bsnmpd resulting in a denial of service.
6ef4969cfc02cf46cf589e659797306bFreeBSD Security Advisory - The ICMPv6 input path incorrectly handles cases where an MLDv2 listener query packet is internally fragmented across multiple mbufs. A remote attacker may be able to cause an out-of-bounds read or write that may cause the kernel to attempt to access an unmapped page and subsequently panic.
3dc4e82e186f7e320d7d6c4dfbf5493cFreeBSD Security Advisory - The decompressor used in bzip2 contains a bug which can lead to an out-of-bounds write when processing a specially crafted bzip2(1) file. bzip2recover contains a heap use-after-free bug which can be triggered when processing a specially crafted bzip2(1) file. An attacker who can cause maliciously crafted input to be processed may trigger either of these bugs. The bzip2recover bug may cause a crash, permitting a denial-of-service. The bzip2 decompressor bug could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. Note that some utilities, including the tar(1) archiver and the bspatch(1) binary patching utility (used in portsnap(8) and freebsd-update(8)) decompress bzip2(1)-compressed data internally; system administrators should assume that their systems will at some point decompress bzip2(1)-compressed data even if they never explicitly invoke the bunzip2(1) utility.
76087cf6669372fbf8909cd8f5d7ed6dFreeBSD Security Advisory - If a process attempts to transmit rights over a UNIX-domain socket and an error causes the attempt to fail, references acquired on the rights are not released and are leaked. This bug can be used to cause the reference counter to wrap around and free the corresponding file structure. A local user can exploit the bug to gain root privileges or escape from a jail.
1a3189674b2fd461c7cc9af0c29d8185FreeBSD Security Advisory - The pci_xhci_device_doorbell() function does not validate the 'epid' and 'streamid' provided by the guest, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A misbehaving bhyve guest could crash the system or access memory that it should not be able to.
71bf823754b425dc351c08e498f7d8aeFreeBSD Security Advisory - System calls operating on file descriptors obtain a reference to relevant struct file which due to a programming error was not always put back, which in turn could be used to overflow the counter of affected struct file. A local user can use this flaw to obtain access to files, directories, sockets etc. opened by processes owned by other users. If obtained struct file represents a directory from outside of user's jail, it can be used to access files outside of the jail. If the user in question is a jailed root they can obtain root privileges on the host system.
17ac53321b9a37616cc3344652d76b23FreeBSD Security Advisory - Due to insufficient initialization of memory copied to userland in the components listed above small amounts of kernel memory may be disclosed to userland processes. A user who can invoke 32-bit FreeBSD ioctls may be able to read the contents of small portions of kernel memory. Such memory might contain sensitive information, such as portions of the file cache or terminal buffers. This information might be directly useful, or it might be leveraged to obtain elevated privileges in some way; for example, a terminal buffer might include a user-entered password.
5736cbc3b6e4753872fa443e695addc6FreeBSD Security Advisory - The code which handles a close(2) of a descriptor created by posix_openpt(2) fails to undo the configuration which causes SIGIO to be raised. This bug can lead to a write-after-free of kernel memory. The bug permits malicious code to trigger a write-after-free, which may be used to gain root privileges or escape a jail.
bb73159089c28abc1e386b3526667139FreeBSD Security Advisory - Insufficient validation of environment variables in the telnet client supplied in FreeBSD can lead to stack-based buffer overflows. A stack-based overflow is present in the handling of environment variables when connecting via the telnet client to remote telnet servers. This issue only affects the telnet client. Inbound telnet sessions to telnetd(8) are not affected by this issue. These buffer overflows may be triggered when connecting to a malicious server, or by an active attacker in the network path between the client and server. Specially crafted TELNET command sequences may cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking telnet(1).
ab448af83d8c939a666a34e2fc68c7f5FreeBSD Security Advisory - A bug causes up to three bytes of kernel stack memory to be written to disk as uninitialized directory entry padding. This data can be viewed by any user with read access to the directory. Additionally, a malicious user with write access to a directory can cause up to 254 bytes of kernel stack memory to be exposed. Some amount of the kernel stack is disclosed and written out to the filesystem.
46094c4f37df1255acbd646ec82e3d07FreeBSD Security Advisory - To implement one particular ioctl, the Linux emulation code used a special interface present in the cd(4) driver which allows it to copy subchannel information directly to a kernel address. This interface was erroneously made accessible to userland, allowing users with read access to a cd(4) device to arbitrarily overwrite kernel memory when some media is present in the device. A user in the operator group can make use of this interface to gain root privileges on a system with a cd(4) device when some media is present in the device.
b564cb6482eb056f4f3410e971bced57FreeBSD Security Advisory - With certain inputs, iconv may write beyond the end of the output buffer. Depending on the way in which iconv is used, an attacker may be able to create a denial of service, provoke incorrect program behavior, or induce a remote code execution. iconv is a libc library function and the nature of possible attacks will depend on the way in which iconv is used by applications or daemons.
7b79e911c86a0f9ff912dd1aa191a5f3FreeBSD Security Advisory - While processing acknowledgements, the RACK code uses several linked lists to maintain state entries. A malicious attacker can cause the lists to grow unbounded. This can cause an expensive list traversal on every packet being processed, leading to resource exhaustion and a denial of service. An attacker with the ability to send specially crafted TCP traffic to a victim system can degrade network performance and/or consume excessive CPU by exploiting the inefficiency of traversing the potentially very large RACK linked lists with relatively small bandwidth cost.
